[QUOTE="eddiddiums, post: 868811, member: 17440"] FM transmitters are really hit or miss depending on the brand of transmitter, the make/model of your car, the location of your antenna, and the area you are using it. Things that will certainly hurt performance: 1) Lot's of radio stations in the area; Big cities have very little free space on the dial. 2) Distant, or window mounted antennas; If the antenna in your car is in the rear or is window mounted wire antenna, performance will also be poor. As an alternative to a standard FM transmitter, look into getting a hard-wired in-line model. These devices may need professional instillation, but since they essentially turn off your car's antenna when they turn on, they provide a much cleaner signal to your car's radio and are a good way to go if an after-market radio with a line-in or iPod jack are out of the question.
